Now in its final days, the crowdfunding campaign to fund the production of the third Small Town Monsters film, Boggy Creek Monster, has gathered well over 150% of its initial goal. While the outpouring of support is somewhat unprecedented for a documentary revolving around the Bigfoot subject, it shouldn’t come as a surprise. With the involvement of the man who authored the definitive book about Boggy Creek, Beast of Boggy Creek, as well as the name recognition associated with the Legend of Boggy Creek, the Kickstarter had a head start.

Expedition Bigfoot: The Sasquatch Museum opened in early February in Cherry Log — located about halfway between Ellijay and Blue Ridge on Highway 515. The 4,000-square foot museum is filled with what owners David and Malinda Bakara call the largest collection of Bigfoot artifacts in any museum anywhere, much of which were gathered by fellow Bigfoot fans and researchers. That collection includes casts of alleged Bigfoot hand and foot prints, newspaper articles documenting reported sightings, a gallery of sketches, and even a life-sized replica of Bigfoot himself.

Due to the overwhelming success of the Small Town Monsters crowdfunding campaign for their next film, Boggy Creek Monster, there have been additional rewards added. The original goal was surpassed in just four days and the campaign is now rolling past the 150% funded goal.

The Loch Ness Monster, bigfoot and the yeti have long held a fascination for people the world over. Debates about their actual existence or what they might really be have continued for decades, if not centuries. Known also as cryptids, they have spawned a body of research known as cryptozoology. This entertaining book looks at the evidence of these mysterious monsters and others and explores what they might really be (if they exist at all), why they have been represented as they have and the development of cryptozoology and how it has collected data to discover more about these unknown creatures.

The team travels for the first time to Maine where they split up to interview eyewitnesses and embark on multiple solo investigations. Matt records multiple Bigfoot howls, and is confident they’ve pinned down a Pine Tree State Sasquatch.
